Integra, Solar, Size 2, Lucite (SSC360) Check Availability

Overview

Integras are a buckle carrier designed by one of the most experienced babywearing consultants in the UK.  They haven't got bells and whistles but they're really beautifully simple and work really well. 

The main panel that supports your child's base and back is a soft, strong, unpadded fabric, so it moulds beautifully to your child without making them sweaty.  There's light padding on the shoulder straps for wearer comfort (without being so thick as to obstruct your passenger's view to the sides). 

Those shoulder straps are designed to be worn crossed across your back in a front carry, which really helps to distribute weight around the body for a comfortable carry for the wearer. For a back carry you use a detachable chest strap, and with less bulk it tends to create a really secure feeling even with a more petite adult back carrying.

The waist band is simply made of webbing, so doesn't add bulk, or weight, and can easily be worn high to avoid putting any undue pressure on C section scars or pelvic floors, as needed.  The panel has an integrated hood, with adjustable clips to hold up one side or the other to support a heavy sleepy head when needed.   It also has 'dual adjusters' on the shoulder straps - you can tighten forwards or backwards as suits you.  

Best of all, the whole thing is super lightweight and rolls up really small - easy to pop in 'just in case' even when you've got a pretty full bag!

This 'Solar' variant is designed for hot weather carrying, with sun protective fabric which blocks 95 - 99% of UVA and UVB rays, highly breathable, wicking technical fabric with a cotton-like feel.
